Maybe??? 
The image quality sux, but you get the idea. I have installed new mirrors, grip, and superbike bars (2" rise, 3" pulback). I hacked about 3 inches of foam out of the seat to get a much smoother appearance, and I replaced the front end with that of a 650G, which netted dual discs and got rid of that ridiculus trailing axle. I have also been painting as I get a chance. The gage cluster, headlight bucket, headligh mounting ears, handlebar controls, upper fork clamp, and lower fork clamp trim are all pained gunmetal grey.
Sometime this summer, I plan on taking a week off, and painting the front and rear fender, tank, and side covers.. I am planning on a color called "Red Fire." It is a Ford color that is absolutely beautiful in the sunlight. Dark Red Metallic. Prolly will spray it over a silver base, and thin it slightly to give it a "candy-apple" appearance. Actually, last months BOTM was the same color, I believe.
The frame will get the gunmetal grey treatment this winter, and the motor will go black, with polished Aluminum side covers and fin edges. I may try to polish both wheels...not too sure about this. It would be a LOT of work to get the sand casting smooth.
Oh, and if anyone has done a Harley rear fender swap, please let me know. I plan on fittin a newish Harley Sportster rear fender, and seat. I still cannot stand the lines of my bikes rear end. I shaped my seat as much as I could and keep the stock pan I think, and still function 2-up. Still hate it though. It just looks clumsy, and not as sleek as the rest of the bike. Lemme know what you think.
